dedicated to the memory of our teacher, Edmund H. Henderson Donald R. Bear Marcia Invernizzi Shane Templeton Francine Johnston A01_BEAR7530_06_GE_FM.INDD 14/10/15 7:14 pm Letter from the Authors Dear Educator, It is an honour for the authors of Words Their Way®: Word Study for Phonics, Vocabulary, and Spelling Instruction to present the sixth edition of this seminal text on word study Accompanying this edition is an online resource, PDToolkit for Words Their Way®, featuring classroom video, printable sorts and games, online interactive sorts, assessment tools and applications all in one place These tools will help you to effectively implement word study instruction in your classroom For the sixth edition, the authors highlight a few key ideas presented in Words Their Way Donald Words Their Way presents a developmental approach that makes word study more efficient and responsive This approach to word study integrates phonics, spelling and vocabulary because of the reciprocal nature of literacy: what students learn in spelling transfers to reading, and what they learn in reading transfers to spelling and vocabulary These are not, therefore, three separate and unrelated areas of instruction Integrating phonics, vocabulary and spelling instruction with a developmental approach contributes, we hope, to deep and rewarding learning and teaching Marcia Words Their Way has gotten teachers to think about phonics, spelling and vocabulary instruction from a completely different point of view Teachers welcome our s­ tudent-​­centred, ­minds-​­on, active approach that considers word study not only as an integral part of literacy development, but also as an integral vehicle for fostering critical thinking Effective word study lessons pose questions and involve students in solving problems through careful analysis, reflection and discussion The questions teachers pose during words study—such as, “Why some words end in a silent e?”—encourage an investigative mindset, and give purpose for engaging in word study activities such as word sorts The language we use when we talk with students about words has a powerful influence on their s­ elf-​­efficacy as learners This is in sharp contrast to most phonics and spelling programmes that merely ask students to memorise relationships, rules and words Shane Words Their Way helps teachers provide their students with the breadth and depth of exploration necessary to construct knowledge about words over t­ ime—​­from individual letters to sound, from groups of letters to sound and from groups of letters to meaning Awareness and appreciation of how children construct this knowledge empowers and emboldens many teachers to advocate for developmental instruction in word study specifically and in literacy more generally This understanding is now being A01_BEAR7530_06_GE_FM.INDD 14/10/15 7:14 pm Let ter from the Authors applied to instruction in v­ ocabulary—​­in particular, general academic vocabulary and d ­ omain-​­specific vocabulary Francine Students learn best when they are working with content that is in their “Zone of Proximal Development” or window of opportunity Words Their Way offers an a­ ssessment-​­driven developmental guide for word study that helps teachers to differentiate instruction to meet children’s needs and provides the resources to so Bring your colleagues and come join us in the most active edition of Words Their Way® yet We wish you happy sorting with your students!
